What will you be doing with the government's $1000 per child christmas bonus?

[aussienic]

rego tip.. We used to have it due in january so we opted to pay it for 6 mnths which took us to August then we went back to yearly..

[Olive]

ours will go to a maxirider for DD, chest of drawers for bubs and some towards our doula.
ALLLLLLLLL of our savings are frozen in the credit crisis so have to spend wisely!

[~Trish~]

We won't be getting it .

TBH ours would have gone straight on our mortgage.

[boomba]

We dont get it either bummer But would have probably put it off our mortgage or maybe into DS savings?

thats the right thing to do as DH would have said but i would have spent it on a christmas party with my friends

[mako]

Ours is going to pay bills. This time of year sucks for all the bills coming in, you know the power,water,land rates etc.

[Liviam]

Ours will be going into savings to help when we are on a single income again when bubba comes. To be honest we'll probably be spending a little bit on buying Olivia a big girl bed in a few months.

maxi rider AHR for DD and other things we need

[Astrid]

Going to book us on the boat to Tassie for Easter next year to visit family and friends. The rest will sit in the home loan until the trip when it will be used as spending money.

Good idea Nic but we don't have that option in NSW, it's a full year or nothing

[BeautifulMadness]

Mines going towards a big boy bed for my son and picking up his booster seat. the rest on bills.

[Jewel]

Ours is going to a new hot water system thingo.
The rest will be put in our savings or something like that.

As we are getting a fair bit due to being on a career's allowance...most of its going in the bank for future medical costs.

We are splurging though....we're going to buy a new window for Vyolett's bedroom cause her old one is unsafe oh and dame rego and rate!
